During which time che inca relie- ved bis Forces three or four times, for in regard the Air of that Councrey was hot and rnoiíl:, and confequencly unwholfome, he judged it fit for the better health of bis Subje&, to change his Guards frequently, chat fo the Difeafes º' rhe Coun- trey might not encer the Camp, before they were again relieved by an exchange of freíh Men.

Their Caciques or Lords rnaincained Buffoons, Jefier~, Dancers, and Singers, for their Paíl:ime and Diver- tifement; bue their Religion yet was vile and bafe, for they adored Tigers and Lions, aqd offered che Bloud and Hearts ofMen in Sacrifice; rhey were ferved and obeyed with great Fear and Awe by .cheir own Subjeéts, and feared by Stran· gers; howfoever being poffeffed wirh dreadfull Apprehenfions of che I nca, chey had no hearc nor courage to make oppoíition againft hirn, and cherefore rncur- neti /
